We haven't been to Death Valley since Oct. 2003. We always went in the fall. We keep meaning to go back in the spring, but there are SO many places to go to and only so much vacation time!
How...
Our weather has been pretty decent this week. The week I went back to work. Winter break we had some nasty winds.
Every day I think I'll ride after work, but I'm so tired when I get home. ...
I've done a couple of rides on the trainer.

That does sound great. I've never considered doing a trip with Trek. I'll have to add them onto my list of companies to check out. :D
We have lined up a couple of trips too. We decided to put...
I have the Ultra Full Body Conditioning with Iron Girl. It's the workout I do when my personal trainer is on vacation. I also have the Ultra Leg Strength and Ultra Core.
I have a lot of the...
Is that the Albion River Inn? Highly recommend the restaurant there. When we first moved to the Bay Area it was a tradition for us to drive up to Mendocino for the day on our anniversary. We did...
Vacation is for working out and having snuggle cat moments.
Just a few of the things we did yesterday. Now I've got that "Don't make me laugh; it hurts!" soreness. :D

I think Christmas is going down the path that Valentine's Day and All Hallows Eve have already trod, albeit a bit more slowly. Those also began as religious festivals. Early Christian leaders...
I don't know about most people, but I don't. I love the holiday season for the reason listed above. And I am absolutely not religious. I have to admit I was saddened by how this thread became a...
I hope it is "nothing much."
Sometimes we just move the wrong way and we get an owie. I went to Urgent Care Wed. night because my ribs were so painful. Turns out I have a "chest contusion", ...
I don't think it means anything. :D It's from a list of Christmas related discussion questions another teacher gave me today. My students mostly chose Rudolf.
One I'm going to ask next week:...
have Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer or Frosty the Snowman as a friend?
Veronica
I wish I could have that plan!
For the 97th time I have explained that "drawing a conclusion" has nothing to do with drawing.

General supplies for the class was another thing. The tissues I can get from the district are HORRIBLE. They are like sand paper on the nose and they won't supply hand sanitizer.
I bet the...
No one expects me to spend money on my classroom. However, many of my students do not have the things they need to function in the class. We use a lot of Post Its and the students do a lot of...
What is reasonable to expect parents to supply for their children?
Veronica
Ahhh... but teachers can cross the line. We 're judged on our students do on testing. There are ways to cheat. You can read the test to your kids, you can flat give them answers. In the bubble in...
Leg Day again - pretty typical stuff except for the jumping with 10 pound dumbbells held at my shoulder. That makes the jump all leg, you can't use your arms at all. Happily it was only onto the 12...
It's too bad not all parents do that. I suspect it's kind of hard to teach those skills to 25 - 30 students at once. I wish I had a nickel for every time one of my students complained that someone...
I'm using Duolingo to learn Spanish. The Spanish speaking moms at school have been really supportive and I try to say something to each of the ones I know every day. I can't say much that is useful...
I get a lot of my former students dropping by to visit. Yesterday it was one of my kiddos from 5 years ago. He was a real mess when he came to me, lots of office referrals and suspensions in third...
I do actually get angry or frustrated by so many of things that seem so ridiculous. New report card software - that surprise doesn't work properly. I'm still short textbooks in my classroom and...
We choose to let some things have a negative impact on us. So what gets you down?
For me, it's lots of things about my job. I teach in a Title 1 Elementary school - more than half of our kids...
